Separating the fruit of a melon or similar fruit from its rind can be a challenging task. Some people commonly use a knife for this task, but the rounded nature of the fruit can make a knife awkward and difficult to use. In addition, for many people it can be a dangerous process.
Currently, there are melon scooping tools designed specifically for separating fruit from a melon rind. The melon scoop includes a hoop-shaped cutting blade secured to a handle. While it is an improvement over the use of a knife in many cases, the cutting hoop is also formed in a singular fixed size. For some melons, the curvature of the blade may be just right, while for other melons the blade may be too large (and therefore too flat) or too small (and therefore too sharply curved).
